| Literally a space of more than three dimensions; conventionally, what you traverse when you go thru a space warp. Practically, it's the same thing as subspace: an imaginary miniature universe in which inconvenient natural laws like the light-speed limit on velocity need not apply. And John Magnus once organized a group of this name, the Hopeful Young People's Extra Radical Society for Promoting Amiable Conditions Everywhere. |
The term’s use in sf goes back at least to 1928, when Kirk Meadowcroft used it in “The Invisible Bubble” in the September Amazing Stories.
